It named Cole as one of the 13 best Democratic and Republican Party chairs in Pennsylvania, including one of the six best Democrats. There are 134 in the state.

Here’s what Politics PA said about Cole: “He comes well recommended by statewide Democratic campaigns and groups because his work ethic is significantly stronger than his ego; he’s willing to do what it takes.

“His effort was rewarded by excellent performances up and down the ballot in 2012, including a state Senate pickup (Sean Wiley in the 49th Dist.). Plus, he’s a press whiz – very skilled at hyping Dem events in the city by the lake.”
